Needed 6500 yds for the blanket pattern I'm working and this yarn was the best choice. 6 of these came to under $100, so excellent value. Other yarns I looked at would have been $200-300 for the same yardage. It is very soft and easy to work with. It is a bit fuzzy, but that isn't a problem for my blanket. So far, I love the way it's working up.
This is perfect for deconstructing and using however you like.
I made a jumper out of these and have two things I learned.
Getting the bonus means not only more yarn, but less stipes per meter. So if you're working on a huge project, like a blanket, this is suitable, but if you want a stripy jumper, better to get the same weight in smaller balls so it stripes more.
I worked with a standard gauge knitting machine for the project. Tension 10 was a must and worked really well. It ribs well at Tension 8. The yarn itself has strength and only snapped once (my fault). It is great to work with on the machine, my only qualm is the bonus is so large, that at the end, the cake sides fell in on themselves which meant so I had to recake the last 100m or so on a spinner.
This is the first chunky scarf using Bonus Bundle (now about to start my 4th). The colour changes work brilliantly, could use my stash of smaller Mandala cakes but would be fiddling with colour changing. I have used patterns by Rich Textures Crochet (YouTube), she uses this yarn perfectly. I use a 5mm and works but might try 5.5.mm and ribbed v stitch for next one.
amazing yarn very soft and colorful
While I was able to make the sweater that I was working on anyway, there was a factory knot which threw off the color scheme of the sweater. It made it impossible to get symmetry that I was initially looking for. It took a lot of extra work to make this yarn work because of it. The whole point of buying the bonus bundle is that I should have enough yarn not to have to make a join. Otherwise, I like this yarn and the color scheme.
